I hate headaches. I think everyone does. They are just the ticket to ruin a perfectly fine day. It's the smallest things (like mosquitoes) that make such a big difference. I have had headaches pretty consistently since I was a small child. I was given migraine medicine when I was in junior high to help fend them off a bit. No good. I was given glasses to try to correct the small vision problem I have, the only problem being that now I developed worse headaches because I had to squish up my nose to keep them up and the added strain ached my head. Seriously. I have no nose bridge to hold up glasses. Someday I'll have to wear glasses full time because my vision is getting worse by the day... but I still haven't been able to find any glasses to stay on my face. All I can do is drink lots of water and take some Excedrin every once in awhile. It's my lot in life to have headaches. Boo. I have one right now. And I hate it. Just hate it.
On a lighter note. I have Bible Study tonight! I really enjoy meeting together with just a group of women to study the Word together. Someday I'll want to join a couples Bible study with Matt, but for now it's good to have some girl time every week as well as delve into the Word. Men and women think so differently on things and it's nice not to have to talk through gender issues with different passages. For now it is just what I need. It's also been nice for me to have something consistent spiritually since the church search in on again. I talked with one of the other teachers at school for awhile about churches. She and her husband also church searched for a year and a half! I really like the church they go to now but it is a half hour away from our house. I'd like to try to find something closer to home. She recommended a few churches that I'm going to try out soon. I hope one of them works out. It seems like we should be able to land on whatever church we visit since it is America and churches here are wonderful and abundant. But that almost causes a problem in and of itself. So many denominations believe such different things. Finding a church that holds to the same doctrines as you, have a good mixture of contemporary and classical worship, and has good solid Biblical preaching is difficult. All the churches I have visited have had great qualities, but they just weren't right for me. I'm spoiled to have so many options. But that is America! Land of abundance. There are three I really want to visit and I think one of them will work out. They are on this side of town so my friends who live by Liberty didn't really want to visit them with me. So it will be a little difficult going by myself, but I can suck it up.
For those of you who read and are not aware. No, Matthew is a not a heathen. He simply has to work on Sunday mornings. It is a great shame and I wish he could say no. The hospital has had to cut everyone's hours and Saturday and Sunday mornings are the only days he consistently works every week. He does group therapy those mornings so it is also great for his future options since usually you have to have a Masters to do group therapy. He still works throughout the week, but it is sporadic and lately he hasn't gotten as many hours as we would like. It's a pain, but just all part of being freshly graduated, married adults living in modern America. Until something better pops up this is our situation. He really misses church. Some people think he should suck it up and say he can't work on Sundays, but we don't feel that way. We still listen to podcasts from churches and do devotions together. So we're not spiritually wanting at all. We just have to push through until we can finally attend church together again. We both attended the same church back home so I know whatever church I land on he will also enjoy.
I think it's dinner time! I am craving rice krispies cereal. I have had a bowl of that every day for the past three weeks! Rice krispies treats are yummy, but the cereal isn't half bad either! Not a huge dinner and I'm not sure what Matthew will eat, but it sounds good to me!
Have a wonderful Thursday and a great weekend! Only five more hours of work for me tomorrow morning and I'm done for the week! I love having nannying off!
Cheers.
